Connection

17

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the 

following output sockets:

•

Component Video

•

S-Video

•

Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above 

connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method 

you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the 

projector and the Video source device as described below:

The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with 

composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so 

if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference 

to (composite) Video.

projector to a component video device.

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. 

If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source 

device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

 for how to connect the projector to 

an S-Video device.

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than 

optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods 

described here.

projector to a composite Video device.
